Design Notes: Resembling the beaches of Florida, Jacksonville International Airport Terminal Expansion has over 100 sea fossil themed glass mosaics embedded in the floor throughout the terminal. These mosaics were hand placed with clear epoxy, then pigmented resin was poured through each of the designs. For high traffic areas, a grand stylized wave flow design was used along with a hand broadcast blend of recycled glass and mother-of-pearl chips to represent the sun on white caps at the beach. This 225,000 square foot terrazzo installation was polished to a 3,000 grit finish to achieve its finishing touches giving the saying ‘Welcome to Sunny Florida’ a whole new meaning.

Design Notes: Nu Vista Living’s facility welcomes guests and visitors with its bright and inviting newly remodeled terrazzo flooring. The focal point of this project is a fiery medallion at the center of the terrazzo floor which radiates outwards into a geometrical pattern. Inspired by the Fibonacci sequence, the tone-on-tone colors were achieved by changing the resin color while keeping the aggregate mix the same. In addition to marble aggregates, Mother-of-Pearl was used adding a glimmer of iridescence. The seamless floor is easily maintained and great for high traffic.
